    Hi , I have the washer outside without hoses connected When I plug it in and set the timer to wash cycle and close the lid it agitates (dry). But when I add water around 5 gallons by buckets and close lid and set to wash it spins out the water everytime. I was told it had a problem when I bought this but she didn't know what the problem was, so I figured I make it or make sure it works before the climb upstairs and the old washer out. Thnaks a bunch just for looking at my question.

My Frigidaire Commercial Series FCCW3000FS 27" Coin Operated Front-Load Washer will not agitate or spin clothes out. Please HELP!

You should check your serial number at this link:http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml09/09292.html


There was a voluntary recall issued on your model number. The serial number will confirm if your machine is affected.


As to your problem, i would still suspect drain pump is struggling or inoperable. However if it seems to drain ok and your pump is still relatively quiet except for a nice mellow steady hum (there should be no rattling sound) then i'd take a look at the pressure switch. The pressure switch sends the signal to begin agitation (water level in tub is full) and spin (water in tub is drained.)

Amana washer not agitating and does not spin all the time

"Its not spinning well" that means it is spinning but at a relatively low speed .....if this is so try having the motor serviced.....or replaced.......also have the capacitor checked...
